Unanswered: Create Cursor with Dynamic SQL

I am attempting to create a store procedure that contains a cursor. I would like to Dynamically create the cursor and I am having difficulty.

Code:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
create or replace procedure allocation_rewrite2(p_as_of_date IN DATE, p_gl_accnt_id IN NUMBER) is

<Define Variables>

CURSOR cur_gl_bucket
IS
SELECT <column name >
FROM ledger_stat
WHERE <statement>

BEGIN

Select <column name> from table;

OPEN Cursor cur_gl_bucket with retrieved column name.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

The <column name> is selected from a table based on the parameters passed into the procedure. I would then like to OPEN the cursor with the retrieved column name dynamically imbedded in the Select statment for the cursor.

I successfully use DBMS_SQL.PARSE and EXECUTE later in the procedure but have been unable to get it to work when I open the cursor. I guess the question is can this be done, and if so what is the syntax for doing this......
